I believe the re-adjustment to - a pre-war basis is about complete and that, after a month or two business will gradually start up again on a 3iew basis. 4 :jii:.ir!,.,k-&.?imM.M. "The worst conditions exist in the cattle, sheep and wool sections of the West and Southwest, with the cot too sections of the South coming next;' "The fundamental cause of the big: slump in cotton is the failure to ratify tha peace treaty with Germany and Austria thus preventing (normal ex portation of cotton, land particularly low grade cotton.- Of course Europe is unable to buy except on twelve months or two years eredit. . V - r'y "Cotton would necessarily have been lower this year, anyway, due to the large crop and general lack ox -de? must be remembered that about two- .thirds of our cotton is, sold abroad in normal times. ', "The most important factory how ever that will contribute to a rise in price this year will be a determina tion to reduce next year's crop. If the cotton farmers show next spring that they are going to cut the -total acre age, say one-half, I look for a big rise. If they plant another" big crop, the price may range around ten cents.- ' . . ?It may .Aa.welL be understood .thai, there , is a big surplus of cotton on hand, including- a large amount of low grades, and' that' the surplus is increasing, due to closing of mills here and. abroad. r - . -- . t j "General financial conditions are improving. The losses to the cototn farmers are great; but everything 'will ome out all right if every one who owes debts will put cotton or other collateral and askifor reasonable ex tensions until prices improve. ! "People ought not to expect to have their debts carried unless they are willing to give . good security. The man who gives seeurity and gets his finally come out all right. - Those who creditors to extend . his debts . will hol.d back or1 refuse to give cotton or other good collateral 6r, who' fail to gather and save their crops will lose everything."
